Abstract

This paper constructs a conjunction and a disjunction operator for type-2 fuzzy sets that cannot be expressed by the sup-t-norm extension principle applied to conjunction and disjunction of type-1 fuzzy sets by means of t-norms and t-conorms on the unit interval. This result answers affirmatively an open problem posed by Hernández et al. in 2015. The duality between the set-theoretic operators for type-2 fuzzy sets is obtained from the duality of set-theoretic operations on type-1 fuzzy sets.
